Since sver-il agenacles had file, on Oswild which caa be chzcked a*a3sc each other, a useful case study of CIA practices is pasIble. These reco:da should sh lighL on the interception of ,mail to Russia, CIA cotcern about (-and ille-keepin--on) dosaestic political- activities, ahd othar que.sonable activicIes. Un aresolved quitions ibdut the CIA and the assassinatioa include CIA coverago Osuald and 'aybe an iepostor in t:e!ico City, repocts that he was aa informant, and a contac v1ith.a U.S. intelligence operative-intMosco. This co su-artzei the avakiable -record and suZggests specific inquiries. The CIA'mLsled the FBI -about the CIA file on Oswald, and may not have cooparated fully wth th'. arren Cowii6sLon (as tthe Fl1 and the Defense Depart- ment did not). For example, the, CIA may not have told the Commission about all their recordion Oswald's wife or his .activities in Nexico, This memo speclfies documehts.an-pople -uhdo could clarify the Warren CommLssion's work with the CIA and their investigation of these.matters. The'CIA nay have invest-15cted the assassination more thoroughly and lonqer. than the CorissLon. The results of the CIA Ihvestigatnio, and possibi actions against W1arren Repore crics,' sliould be clarified for the public. Previously unreported evidence presented here is relevant to the reports that-a- CIA atterpt to kill Fidel Castro nmay have backfired against Kennedy. Oswald or an 16personator, in the coapany of anti-Castco Cubans, visited Cuban emigree Sylvia Odio in Dallas and was-said to feel that Kennedy should have been'. shot. These men were apparently friends of Odio's father, who was imprisoned in Cuba because of his role in an assassination attempt against Castro. Eyen without knowledae of chis fact, the Uarren Co.aLission staff considered the Odio i4cident very ikportant and speculated that it might have reflected a, conspiracy. The Coar-Assion's investigation was quite inadequate - for exavple, in not checking out reports of an Oswald loo4-alike in DAllas who was affiliated with the same .nci-C.jstro group as Odio's father's co-conspirators against Castro, The CIA's role in this particular attempt atainst Castro, and in the dissemination of ap.arently false .stories thaet Rtobert Kennedy feared that an att.enpt against Castro which he had authjrized had backfirel,, rust be exomined fully.
